After Hank's lonely trip down memory lane, he did not sleep for the rest of the night. He sat in his favorite chair, grabbed the photo Janine's baby photo album and reviewed it over and over. Even though it had been six years since Sophia had passed away, Hank could only let time heal him. On some occasions, Logan would encourage him to get back out into the dating pool. Of course Hank would deny him and the whole idea. He just wasn't ready.
Hank continuously looked through the photo album. He looked at the family photo that him, his father, mother, Sophia, Preston, Kate, Janine and all took before the accident. He caught another tear escape from his eyes that dropped on the picture. Soon, he heard a little knock on the door. Why would he be needed at this hour? He thought to himself.
" Come in," Hank said. He then saw a little tiny foot step through the door followed by long black hair and a beautiful face.
" Daddy? Are you awake? Can I come in?"
" Of course, darling! Why are you up so late its 1:30 am." He said quickly closing the book and putting the album back on the shelf. He never let Janine look on the album. He only let her look at the individual pictures that were taken of her when she was a baby.
" I couldn't sleep," Janine said climbing up onto Hanks big lap.
" Why not, honey?" he said cuddling her up to comfort her.
" I had a bad dream. I keep dreaming of a black coffin-"
" Black coffin?" He said contemplating her words. Where had he heard the same dream from? He thought...
" Yeah a black coffin and I it keeps raining. and everyone is wearing black. I don't wanna have these nightmares Daddy I want them to stop!" Janine whined and started to cry into Hank's chest.
" Darling do not cry; please don't cry. It is just a dream, muffin. Its done, honey its done. Would you like to sleep with me tonight?" Janine stopped crying and nodded her head and sniffed.
" Daddy, can I get a cookie from the kitchen first?"
" Well..."
" Pleeeaaaasse Daddy?"
" Oh alright. No harm done. Just one cookie and then its bed time for both of us. You have a big day tomorrow with you play, Your Highness." Hank joked, referring her up coming play as the Princess in Princess and the Frog.
" As Princess of the land, I declare that you carry me down the steps!"
" As you wish, Your Highness! And does she promise to sleep afterwards?"
" She will think about it," Janine said with her head high as her dad put her on his back.
" Oh really?" Hank said as he let her slip down but not letting her completely fall.
" Ahh! Okay Daddy he-he okay! She promises!" Hank hitched her back up on his back tightly and laughed. He then took her down de dark stairway and to the kitchen for a quick cookie and milk trip.
At Delilah's house...
(Phone rings. Delilah stirs from her deep sleep in her bed to answer the phone)
" Hello?"
" De-de baby how are ya?"
" Who (yawn) the hell is this?"
" Aww come on baby, you know who this is."
" T-T-Thomas? Wha- Why are you-" Delilah snapped out of her tiredness at the sound of his menacing voice.
" That's all you have to say after six years?"
" I thought I told you to never call this house again!"
" I have the body. When are you going to come fucking get it?"
" You went too far blowing her up! All I asked you to do was to wipe her memory!"
" Lets just say we all got what we wanted in the end, right?"
" Thats not the point! And don't call me baby! We're done! Fuck you!"
" Look it doesn't matter how I fucking did it just come get the goddamn body. The process is almost complete. Do not keep me fucking waiting."
